Reason for recall

Gamay was notified by ingredient supplier that the milk powder ingredient was being recalled due to concerns about potential contamination with Salmonella.

Salmonella causes fever, diarrhea and abdominal cramps, usually 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food. Most people recover without treatment, but severe cases can need hospital care.
